### Popout menu Reveals an interactive popout menu on hover and focus. #### HTML ```html
Popout menu
``` #### CSS ```css .reference { position: relative; background: tomato; width: 100px; height: 100px; } .popout-menu { position: absolute; visibility: hidden; left: 100%; background: #333; color: white; padding: 15px; } .reference:hover > .popout-menu, .reference:focus > .popout-menu { visibility: visible; } ``` #### Demo #### Explanation 1. `position: relative` on the reference parent establishes a Cartesian positioning context for its child. 2. `position: absolute` takes the popout menu out of the flow of the document and positions it in relation to the parent. 3. `left: 100%` moves the the popout menu 100% of its parent's width from the left. 4. `visibility: hidden` hides the popout menu initially and allows for transitions (unlike `display: none`). 5. `.reference:hover > .popout-menu` means that when `.reference` is hovered over, select immediate children with a class of `.popout-menu` and change their `visibility` to `visible`, which shows the popout. #### Browser support ✅ No caveats.
